Le Canada veut construire plus, mais manque d’enseignants dans les programmes de métiers
AI Article Summary

Canada is facing a shortage of teachers in technical trades programs as it seeks to fulfill its construction goals. With around 700,000 skilled workers retiring by 2028, schools struggle to attract qualified educators due to lower starting salaries and the cost of retraining. New initiatives, such as partnerships with the Calgary Construction Association, aim to address these challenges by providing resources and sparking student interest in trades. Provinces like Ontario and British Columbia are particularly affected, urging the development of technology education to meet national needs.
